# JITS Builder - Just-In-Time Software π
Build instant mini-apps from voice or text descriptions. Describe what you need, get a working tool deployed in seconds.
## What is JITS?
**Just-In-Time Software** - the idea that you don't need to find or install tools. You describe what you need and it gets built on the spot.
> "I need a timer that plays a sound after 25 minutes"
> "Make me a tool to split a bill between friends"
> "Create a page where I can paste JSON and see it formatted"
## Requirements
- Cloudflared binary (auto-downloads to `/tmp/cloudflared` if missing)
- Node.js (for serving the app)
## How It Works
1. **Describe** - Voice or text, explain what you want
2. **Generate** - Agent builds a single-file HTML/JS/CSS app
3. **Deploy** - Cloudflare tunnel makes it instantly accessible
4. **Use** - Get a URL, use your tool, share it
## Usage
Just ask naturally:
```
"Build me a pomodoro timer"
"I need a quick tool to convert CSV to JSON"
"Make a tip calculator"
"Create a color palette generator"
```
The agent will:
1. Generate the HTML/JS code
2. Save to `/data/clawd/jits-apps/<name>.html`
3. Serve on a local port
4. Create Cloudflare tunnel
5. Return the public URL
## Managing JITS Apps
```bash
# List running apps
/data/clawd/skills/jits-builder/jits.sh list
# Stop an app
/data/clawd/skills/jits-builder/jits.sh stop <name>
```
## App Guidelines
When building JITS apps:
1. **Single file** - All HTML, CSS, JS in one file
2. **No dependencies** - Use vanilla JS, no external libraries
3. **Mobile-friendly** - Responsive design
4. **Dark theme** - Looks good, easy on eyes
5. **Self-contained** - No backend/API calls needed
6. **Branded** - Include "Built with JITS" badge
## Template Structure
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>π JITS - [App Name]</title>
<style>
/* Dark theme, centered layout */
body {
font-family: -apple-system, sans-serif;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #1a1a2e, #16213e);
min-height: 100vh;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
color: white;
}
/* ... app styles ... */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>[App Title]</h1>
<div class="badge">Built with JITS</div>
<!-- App content -->
</div>
<script>
// App logic
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
## Example Apps
| App | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| Pomodoro Timer | 25/5 min work/break cycles with sound |
| Tip Calculator | Split bills with custom tip % |
| JSON Formatter | Paste JSON, see it pretty-printed |
| Color Picker | Generate and copy color palettes |
| Countdown | Timer to a specific date/event |
| QR Generator | Text to QR code |
| Unit Converter | Length, weight, temperature |
| Decision Maker | Random picker for choices |
## Limitations
- **Single-page only** - No multi-page apps
- **No backend** - Client-side only, no databases
- **Temporary URLs** - Tunnels expire when stopped
- **No persistence** - Data doesn't survive refresh (use localStorage if needed)
## Directory Structure
```
/data/clawd/jits-apps/
βββ pomodoro.html # App HTML
βββ pomodoro.pid # Server process ID
βββ pomodoro.port # Port number
βββ pomodoro.url # Tunnel URL
βββ pomodoro.tunnel.pid # Tunnel process ID
```
